RETROSPEKT by Paul Denton
From the dancefloors of Dublin… to the world’s biggest stages, Paul Denton has built a name for himself deeply rooted in the trance scene. His music productions fuelled by passion & crafted with precision are always on display in his thought provoking DJ sets. With Retrospekt, his long-awaited debut album, Paul takes listeners on a deep personal journey — tracing his evolution as an artist thats been framed by over two decades of musical inspiration.
Growing up immersed in the golden era of trance, Paul’s early influences read from the hall of fame: Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto — and the raw energy of hard trance pioneers like Scot Project and Mauro Picotto. These sounds sparked a lifelong obsession for Paul, one that would eventually lead him to become one of the most in-demand DJs and producers in the genre today.
Retrospekt is more than just an album — it’s a tribute through the era of music that shaped him. From progressive grooves and hands-in-the-air uplifting melodies - to vocal-driven anthems, gritty tech trance, breakbeat rhythms and dark, driving techno. This album spans from 122 BPM to 144 BPM, showcasing the full musical spectrum which flows through the centre of Paul’s artistic DNA.
Whether he is lighting up the stages of EDC, ASOT, Tomorrowland, Dreamstate, Luminosity, FSOE or Subculture, or crafting chart-topping tracks like “Beneath the Stars” and “Siren”. Paul Denton remains fiercely connected to his roots: a trance fan, a true clubber, creating music - quite simply made for the dancefloor!
Retrospekt is the story of Pauls musical life - put into a voyage for you to enjoy. From his younger years attending the clubs of Ireland to the global superstar that you see before you today - This is Retrospekt - This is Paul Denton!
